I started Railway modelling so long ago, its a job to remember when it all began. I have always been interested in scratch building all types of models, but especially making buildings and rolling stock.

In the last few years I have come to realise that computers can be a great help in the hobby. I have used computers to draw wagon and coach sides which can be used as templates to make models.  Recently I decided to see if one could be used to make a complete model of a building. After a lot of searching I found all the programs that were needed not only to produce a plan of the models, but to produce all the printed parts required to complete the model. I have built several models now, all which are used on my railway layout in the garage roof. They have lasted this far in damp and heat and still look good today.

After all the hard work that went into designing the models I thought it may be a good idea to produce these models to allow others to use them if they liked. There are very few companies that supply cardboard models to the general public. Some of the ones that do, have been selling the same models that I first bought as a youngster.

This was the birth of Railwayscenics in early 2010.  Railwayscenics still is a small business with large ambitions.

What was needed was a new way for people to purchase these models, and the internet supplies it. All of our models can be downloaded once, and built as many times as you require. We not only sell the models, we also supply a range of single brick paper sheets that will allow you to customise each of our models. I will also be soon adding parts made from plastic that can be used to complete these models, such as gutters and chimney pots, although these are available from many suppliers.

We also supply a range of road signs, metal advertising signs and pub signs, that can all be downloaded immediately after payment.

At present all models come in a PDF zipped format. The folder includes everything that is required to build a card model.  Each page can be reprinted if a mistake is made.  The models built as supplied will produce a sturdy 3 dimensional model with some relief, such as windows recessed in their openings and raised brick and stone work for things such as door and window sills and lintels.  It was decided that no card edges would show, and this has been achieved on all of our models. Extra details can be added either during the assembly or once the model is complete.  We have successfully added low voltage lighting to some of our models.

I have recently added scenic and model assembly products from a wide range of suppliers to the website. I am slowly adding more items to this as they become available. We currently have a range of scatter material, electrical items including switches, lighting and wire, and plastic items including plastic card sheet and profiles. I believe in keeping prices to a reasonable level, and as we are not tied to any specific manufacturer, I am able to buy from various suppliers. This allows the range to be large and the  prices competitive.

In 2012 we added a range of pre printed items to our range.
